Sometimes, after turning off the keyboard raw mode for debugging or recovery purposes (with ALT-SysRq-r), it does not get back to raw mode automatically when switching back to X.
This command allows to put the keboyard in raw mode again:

A video from Nickelback that my lao po enjoys.
I had to find it back with quite a fuzzy description: a music video with a girl dying in car accident, after her boyfriend died in a car accident, she drops a bottle of milk on the floor and is reading a newspaper.
Outch.
Hopefully, other people already answered this, as found by googling "music video car crash" :)
Too bad I spent so long trying with "accident" instead of "crash" before...

The big part is rediffing the loop-AES patch. Fortunately, upstream provides a patch for 2.14, but I want to update util-linux-ng to 2.14.1, so it has to be reworked. This new 2.14.1 version introduces a patch to support loopback autoclear on umount, which gets in the way of the loop-AES patch, so better remove it.
Since the loop-AES patch is quite intrusive, to rediff it, it is easier to start for an old tree with loop-AES, and apply the upstream diff from 2.14 to 2.14.1 on it.

Chupacbra (wikipedia) is a cryptid (urban legend creature) from Latin America, supposed to attack and drink the blood of other animals (hence its name, "goat sucker").
A funny patch name from Bill Nottingham:
$ grep ^+ SOURCES/sysvinit-2.86-godot.patch | tail -n 1
+ {"WT",WAITING},
It comes from a Samuel Beckett play, En attendant Godot (Waiting for Godot)
Quite unsavory, the environment is nicely set and the theme could have been promising, but the story is plain straight and extremly easy.
Could have a been a decent TV series episode, but probably not what one expects from The X-Files (it could have been fine in Without a Trace or 1-800-Missing).
Curiously, Xzibit (host of the Pimp my Ride show) perfectly fits in his FBI agent character.
(spoil possibly follows)
Scully goes find Mulder in his reclusive live, to help the FBI solve a non-X file, just because a psych is involved. And since Mulder is the only stubborn being on earth, he almost succeeds in solving the case, mostly by following the primary lead, how surprising. Too bad he's so clumsy at tailing and catching the bad guys. Fortunately for him, Scully starts to believe right at the suitable time...
The only "supernatural" substance is the poor pedophile priest which happens to have visions, but a psychic may appear in pretty much all sorts of productions nowadays, nothing very fancy.
And too bad the scientific themes (stem cells and body transplant) are so superficial, it's not even close to Grey's Anatomy...
An average man, working in a cubicle, learns that his accelerated heartbeat is actually not an anguish issue, but a skill that would allow him to be a perfect assassin. A fraternity of assassins offers him the choice to become part of them, to start his real life.

From Tumblelog article on Wikipedia:
A tumblelog (or tlog) is a variation of a blog that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats found on tumblelogs include links, photos, quotes, dialogues, and video. Unlike blogs, tumblelogs are frequently used to share the author's creations, discoveries, or experiences while providing little or no commentary.
If the articles count or list gets wrong in Gnus with the nnml backend (for example because of full disk), it can be rebuilt this way:
M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases
A more generic way is to go in the Server buffer (^ from the Group buffer) and use g to regenerate all its data structures.
Here are the marks that I should use to distinguish important articles in my gnus mail client:

For an unknown reason, after updating Mozilla Firefox to latest cooker package, it failed to start with 1 as exit code. Though, it started fine with another user.
I tried to remove files in my profile one after the other, to see which one was causing the issue. It appeared to be ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/compatibility.ini. This file is described in Profile folder - Firefox (Files section).
